Montana Becomes The First State To Set Its Own Net Neutrality Rules

Montana Becomes The First State To Set Its Own Net Neutrality Rules

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) signed an executive order on
Monday that requires all internet service providers (ISPs) seeking to
renew or acquire new state contracts to abide by net neutrality. In
essence, these companies will be barred from blocking websites or
charging more for faster delivery of websites.
“If you want to do business with Montana, there are standards on net neutrality you will have to follow,” Bullock said.
Bullock signed the order in front of a high school computer class in Helena, reported the Billings Gazette.
Montana
state, county and local governments have about $50 million worth of
contracts with ISPs, including national companies like Verizon,
AT&T, Charter and CenturyLink, per the Gazette.
When
the FCC repealed its net neutrality rules earlier last year, “it said
consumers should choose,” Bullock added. “The state of Montana is one of
the biggest consumers of internet services in our state. We’re making
our choice clear: We want net neutrality.”
Now Bullock is encouraging other governors and state legislators to follow his example.
“This is a simple step states can take to preserve and protect net neutrality,” Bullock stated. “We can’t wait for folks in Washington to come to their senses and reinstate these rules.” (source)
